    Abstract
    The aim of this study was to explore patterns of cannon distribution on shipwreck sites using primary historical sources and archaeological case studies. This archaeological data set comprised ten shipwreck sites with multiple cannons located in the Caribbean and in the waters of Bermuda. The intent was to determine signature characteristics of cannon patterns. These patterns may potentially reflect the wrecking event, crew procedure or emergency action jettisoning heavy artifacts during a time of disaster or post wrecking salvage operations. Historical sources revealed information concerning maritime insurance protocols for jettisoning artifacts.
